Abstract excerpt
Identification of genetic predisposition to cardiac sarcoidosis could play a critical role in the detection of sub-clinical forms of the disease. The aim of this study was to investigate the possible correlations between the emergence of cardiac sarcoidosis and the -1.031T/C, -857C/T, -308G/A, and -238G/A Tumor Necrosis Factor-α (TNFA) polymorphisms in a well-defined Greek cohort. One-hundred and seventy-three...
